This and that about Dreamland

Located in a totally local neighborhood where you might just be the first foreigner in the area, Dreamland Taunggyi is the place to get far from the madding crowd.

Completed just recently by the Dreamlanders, it is a work of art, a glowing beacon in a quiet countryside. There is love and hard work poured in the making. You can feel it splattered on the colorful walls, from the beautiful murals and designs in every room, to even the little organic garden planted carefully in pots on the roof.

Breakfast is included, there is free wifi and hot water showers and you can chill on the roof-top terrace at sunset with relaxing views of the city on the mountain and a sleepy countryside in the gathering dusk.

The rooms are amazing! The children have really put in a lot of thought when they were doing the interior design as every room has its own theme. The dorms look like this!

And here’s one of the private rooms!

Dorm beds are $8 per night. And private ones are $20. And they are all en suite!

There is also a convenience store out front.

Oh, and did I mention? There is a SWIMMING POOL!

A cool indoor swimming pool!

Our guesthouse offers free shuttle to Inle Lake – a half hour’s drive through rolling roads and green hillsides – two times in the morning to send you there and one in the evening to bring everyone back. You can also rent bicycles or motorbikes if you prefer to explore at your own leisure.

Right after the Golden Gate (a.k.a the “Welcome To Taunggyi” sign), on Cherry Lane, Dreamland Taunggyi is close to the Ayetharyar Bus Terminal and the Aytharyar Vineyard. It is but a 15-min motorbike ride (10 minutes by car) up to Taunggyi City.

Today the wind started blowing since early morning — a sign of summer coming!

Huuu…. We’ve all been working really hard to bring about the guesthouse. Today we are working on the roofing of the second floor’s outdoor terrace. It’s hard work to transport it up to the top of the building:

But by the end of the day it’s done and we now have a much cooler outdoor place to chill out!

And what people are concerned most is ‘When will you open?’ Well, actually we now already get the guesthouse license issued by MCDC (Mandalay City Development Committee), with which we can host local travelers. But we still have to wait for the other one issued by the ministry of hotel and tourism to host foreign guests. So…. we still don’t know how long will it take, but we are working on it! 🙂 Hopefully next month!!
